Herrero-Cortina, Beatriz; Lee, Annemarie L.; Oliveira, Ana; O'Neill, Brenda; Jácome, Cristina; Dal Corso, Simone; Poncin, William; Muñoz, GerardAirway clearance techniques (ACTs) are part of the main management strategy for patients with bronchiectasis. Despite being a priority for patients, accessibility, implementation and reporting of ACTs are variable in clinical settings and research studies. This European Respiratory Society statement summarises current knowledge about ACTs in adults with bronchiectasis and makes recommendations to improve the fu...
Systemic Inflammation and Oxidative Stress in Adults with Bronchiectasis: Assoc...
Camargo, Anderson Alves de; Castro, Rejane Agnelo Silva de; Vieira, Rodolfo P.; Oliveira-Júnior, Manoel Carneiro; Araujo, Amanda Aparecida deOBJECTIVES: To compare the inflammatory and oxidative stress (OS) states of adults with bronchiectasis with those of healthy controls and correlate inflammatory and OS levels with lung function and physical capacity. METHODS: This study used a cross-sectional design. Seventy-four adults with bronchiectasis (age: 49±15 years, forced expiratory volume in 1 second [FEV1]: 52.5±25.6%) and 42 healthy controls (age: ...
Neuromuscular electrical stimulation improves exercise tolerance in chronic obs...
Nápolis, Lara Maris; Dal Corso, Simone; Neder, José Alberto; Malaguti, Carla; Gimenes, Ana Cristina Oliveira; Nery, Luiz EduardoBACKGROUND: High-frequency neuromuscular electrical stimulation increases exercise tolerance in patients with advanced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD patients). However, it is conceivable that its benefits are more prominent in patients with better-preserved peripheral muscle function and structure. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of high-frequency neuromuscular electrical stimulation in COPD...
